Mariah's growing popularity as a worldwide star led to requests
for more concerts. And while the album "Butterfly" was burning up the
charts and radio airwaves, Mariah chose to once again kick off her
current round of concert tours with a series of concerts in Japan,
Australia, and Hawaii and went into active rehearsal for the tour
shortly before Christmas.
Mariah kicked off the first of twelve concerts dates - her longest
concert tour to date - on January 11, 1998 with four sold-out dates
in Tokyo. Echoing her U.S. tour, Mariah's first show in Tokyo was not
her best, and the nerves once again betrayed her onstage. But just
like the U.S. tour, she made a quick recovery, and those who saw the
remaining Tokyo shows deemed them a rousing success. A quick
trip across the water for a concert in Taiwan was followed by a series
of six shows in Australia. A final show in Hawaii ended the tour on a
high note.
Although many concerts where filmed, Sony decided not to
release a concert video, but chose a complilation video instead. In
April 1999, "Mariah Carey around the world" was released with footage
from the concerts, completed with additional footage. Here is what
Sony writes about the video:
Mariah Carey, the biggest-selling female artist of the decade,
invites her fans to join her on-stage and backstage as she travels
around the world on a concert tour with stops in Australia, Hawaii,
Japan and glittering Manhattan. Through the magic of Dolby digital
multichannel surround sound, you'll experience the full power of
some of Mariah's biggest hits and revel in a series of very exclusive
performances.
"Mariah Carey around the world" takes you from Australia - where
Mariah sings "Hopelessly devoted to you", from "Grease", with Olivia
Newton-John - to New York's intimate Spy Bar - where you'll find
Mariah dueting with Brian McKnight on "Whenever you call". In other
performances, she teams up with Trey Lorenz to sing The Jackson
5's "I'll be there" into the stratosphere and cooks up a sensuous rendition
of Brenda K. Starr's "I still believe".
You'll join Mariah behind-the-scenes with exclusive backstage
footage including her massive in-store appearance at New York's
Virgin Megastore and her party for fans at Webster Hall celebrating
the release of "#1's".
Mariah Carey around the world is an unforgettable musical journey
you'll want to take over and over again.
